Donald Trump gets to run for office in Colorado – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

– Does the 14th Amendment apply to Trump? Yes, it does, said 91-year-old Republican Norma Anderson. Along with five other voters, Anderson argued the attack on Congress on January 6, 2021, would never have happened without Trump — in violation of the constitutional amendment. LOST: Norma Anderson and the other Colorado residents lost their case against Donald Trump. Photo: Reuters They won in Colorado’s highest court, where the court denied former president Donald Trump from running for office in the state. Trump appealed the decision to the US Supreme Court, which today upheld. The crux of the case Colorado’s Supreme Court agreed with the six residents. In their ruling, they barred Donald Trump with reference to his role in the storming of the congressional building in January 2021. The court concluded that this was in violation of the oath he took to safeguard the US Constitution. His lawyers argue that this interpretation of the legislation does not extend to the highest office in American politics. The president is elected by the people, they argue, and not elected to office. Reversed the verdict The United States Supreme Court did not agree with the court in Colorado. The judges unanimously came to reject the verdict to remove Trump from the ballots in the state. Three of the nine judges who have heard the case were appointed to the Supreme Court while Trump was president. The majority of the Supreme Court – six of the nine judges – are considered conservative. Elections The parties’ nomination elections are in full swing. On Monday night, Nikki Haley won the majority in Washington DC, but Trump is still the favorite to become the Republicans’ candidate before the presidential election on November 5. Tomorrow is Super Tuesday. Nomination elections are then held in 15 states and one territory. Among those who will choose are large states such as California and Texas. So far, Trump has won overwhelmingly in the states that have already held their nominating elections, including Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, Idaho, Michigan and Missouri.
